Axiom Microdevices' patented technology, deployed in the AX502, allows the
use of 0.13um Silicon CMOS process technology to integrate all of the
functions between transmitter output and transmit/receive switch. The power
gain stages, small signal control circuitry and 50 ohms matching are all
realized on a single die. What was previously achieved with integrated
circuits manufactured in proprietary gallium-arsenide process technology
and assembled in complex multi-chip module packaging, now is available in a
single CMOS die.

"In the 14 years of hosting the AeA High-Tech Innovation Awards, many
groundbreaking products and technologies have been recognized in the
semiconductor arena," said Tim Jemal, AeA executive director for Orange
County and the Inland Empire. "Axiom Microdevices' CMOS PA product is among
the truly disruptive technologies that carries the potential to
revolutionize the future of mobile phone manufacturing."

The reliability of the AX502 has been proven through thousands of hours of
life testing, at accelerated operating conditions, including greater than
recommended operating temperature, extended duty cycle, load mismatches of
greater than VSWR 10:1 at worst case phase angles, and elevated supply
voltages.
